7. (12.5 points)Use the following simplified 2013 balance sheet to show in general terms how an improvement in the DSO would tend to affect the stock price.For example if the company could improve its collection procedures and thereby lower its DSO from 45.6 days to the 32-day industry average without affecting sales how would that change ripple through the financial statements (shown in thousands below) and influence the stock price?
Accounts receivable $878 Debt $1545
Other current assets 1802
Net fixed assets 817 Equity 1952
Total assets $3497 Liabilities plus equity $3497
First we need to calculate XYZs daily sales.
Daily sales= Sales / 365
Daily sales= $7035600 / 365
Daily sales= $19275.62
Target A/R = Daily sales Target DSO
Target A/R = $19276 32
Target A/R = $616820
Freed-up cash = old A/R new A/R
Freed-up cash = $878000 $616820
Freed-up cash = $261180
